POWERLIFTING CLUB & ONLINE COACHING

Gloucestershire Powerlifting

Our Approach

Nobody walks through the door already good at this. Nobody.

If you've been putting off trying powerlifting because you think everyone else will be stronger, leaner, or more experienced, that's not what our sessions look like. It's a coached club environment for people of every level, from those who've never touched a barbell to lifters chasing a competition total.

Whether you train with us through classes, 1:1 support, or online coaching, the process is the same: training that matches your goals, experience, and capacity, while building both strength and skill over time.

You don't need to be good enough to start. You just need to show up once.

Join The Club

'A short testimonial is just not enough to do Ryan justice. He has applied the title of 'coach' to pretty much all aspects of my life. He knows where to just push you to help you grow, but also when you need to give yourself more grace than grit. With Ryan, I've seen a huge growth in not only my strength, and physique, but also my mentality and mindset which I can apply to everything. We are approaching two years as a team and I can't imagine life without Ryan!'

A Little About Me

Ryan Edwards - Level2 Powerlifting Coach

I’m Ryan Edwards, a strength and powerlifting coach based in Gloucester. With over eight years of coaching experience, I’ve helped lifters of all levels develop strength, confidence, and consistency in training.

Gloucestershire Powerlifting exists to raise the standard of training locally. It’s a coached club environment built around structured progression, technical quality, and a community of lifters who want more than just “getting a sweat on”.

We’re proud of the standards we hold, but we’re just as proud of the environment we’ve built. Sessions are coached, levels are adjusted to the individual, and every lifter is supported to train hard, train well, and keep progressing long-term.
